Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: system-config-printer
When starting system-config-printer from System>Administration module, the
window appears but hangs.
When starting starting the script from a terminal and playing with Ctrl+C, it
appears that system-config-printer is stuck in a function; here is the
traceback:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ sudo system-config-printer
[sudo] password for sebastien:
** (system-config-printer.py:20458): CRITICAL **: Error opening file: No
such file or directory
** (system-config-printer.py:20458): CRITICAL **: Error opening file: No such
file or directory
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/share/system-config-printer/system-config-printer.py", line 4472,
in <module>
main(start_printer, change_ppd)
File "/usr/share/system-config-printer/system-config-printer.py", line 4446,
in main
mainwindow = GUI(start_printer, change_ppd)
File "/usr/share/system-config-printer/system-config-printer.py", line 528,
in __init__
self.populateList(start_printer, change_ppd)
File "/usr/share/system-config-printer/system-config-printer.py", line 699,
in populateList
self.on_tvMainList_cursor_changed(self.tvMainList)
File "/usr/share/system-config-printer/system-config-printer.py", line 1600,
in on_tvMainList_cursor_changed
self.fillPrinterTab(name)
File "/usr/share/system-config-printer/system-config-printer.py", line 1638,
in fillPrinterTab
self.ppd = printer.getPPD()
File "/usr/share/system-config-printer/cupshelpers.py", line 153, in getPPD
filename = self.connection.getPPD(self.name)
KeyboardInterrupt
By the way the first error ("** (system-config-printer.py:20458): CRITICAL **:
Error opening file: No such file or directory") does not appear if script is
launched without sudo...
As far as I can tell, self.connection.getPPD(self.name) method (actually
cups.Connection.getPPD method) really seems to hang when trying to get PPD from
a network printer...
This may look like bug #165197
